Resource allocation plays an important role in call admission control (CAC). In a wireless environment where resource is scarce, an efficient resource allocation scheme is of critical importance. A movable boundary (NO) resource allocation scheme for handling real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) traffic at the base station is proposed. Numerical results show that this scheme reduces the resource requirement and increases the utilization of NRT traffic significantly while maintaining the service performance of RT traffic.

This paper describes a TV program generation system using digest video scenes that are retrieved from video streams with the program indexes. The key features of the system are: (1) TV programs can be dynamically generated from digest video scenes selected by user preference. (2) Directions can be added using a happiness or sadness level based on the user preferences. (3) Personalized TV programs for an individual viewer can be made. The procedures taken by the system are as follows: (1) Conjunctive expressions between scenes are automatically generated; (2) Emotional expressions are automatically generated by user preference; (3) TV program metaphors are defined; (4) Direction templates corresponding to the metaphors are defined; (5) These expressions and definitions are coded using a markup language, and (6) Contents such as virtual characters and movies are synchronized. The resultant program can be shown on a TV set.

We have developed a new, robust clustering algorithm, Self-Splitting Competitive Learning (SSCL). It has shown great abilities in detecting not only isolated clusters, but overlapped clusters, curves and spherical shells. We apply SSCL to quantization of color images. The clustering algorithm iteratively partitions the color space into natural clusters without a prior information on the number of clusters. The algorithm starts with only a single color prototype and adaptively splits it into multiple prototypes during the learning process based on a split validity measure. It is able to discover all natural groups; each is associated with a color prototype. The experimental results show remarkably better performance as compared to several other existing clustering algorithms.

software architectural styles that represent structural characteristics of software programs range from specific ones that can be applied to a particular domain to generic ones that can be applied to any domain. If a specific architectural style is available for the target system to be developed, it is appropriate to apply it together with its associated modeling method. However, no quantitative evaluation on the efficiency of specific architectural styles has as yet been reported. This paper presents a quantitative comparison of two architectural styles: specific and generic software architectural styles. The comparison shows that a specific architectural style combined with its associated modeling method allows us to reduce modeling cost as much as a few scores of percent compared with the generic one combined with its modeling method. The improvement results from the characteristics that (1) a specific software architectural style requires less rewriting of modeling diagrams due to its inherent basic structure and (2) there is less redundant information among modeling diagrams.

Transform coefficients carry important data characteristics but can also be compressed significantly in many remote sensing applications. Failures in the several computing facilities that execute lossy compression algorithms and support the transmission of Fourier transform data can corrupt the values beyond recovery at the final destination. Various methods for including fault tolerance at the data processing level are exemplified by describing a protected system that computes the FFT, truncates small coefficients and compresses the remaining nonzero coefficients using lossless arithmetic coding. Algorithmic checks within the FFT and arithmetic encoding and decoding operations are augmented with additional features between and across several subsystems involved in compressing and transmitting the FFT data. End-to-end error detection is achieved in this manner.

Presents the results of the third international graphics recognition contest. We evaluated the performance of four different vectorization systems on scanned images of CAD drawings. The EditCost Index was used for comparative evaluation of the systems. The performance curves of the systems on the test images are presented in this paper.
